 I primered the body to find any imperfections & seam lines. I removed the fender gills. Now im contemplating on the interior this is gonna be very tedious because i never did tuck n roll upholstery before. I watched the movie the other night to get good angles of the interior the pattern is gonna be a pain but its gonna be worth it. I'll keep ya'll posted. |

  Heres some progress on the impala i modified the spare tire well which stuck out like a sore thumb i added some Evergreen sheet styene .030 inches thick and finished it off with a .060 inch styene strip. Originally i was gonna use the kits 348 ci instead i used a Monogram 55 Chevy Street Machine 350 ci engine i used the kits powerglide tranny. Once the engine is finished its gonna have finned valve covers, a 6-pot intake with 6 strombergs i might be able to fit a set of headers if not i'll go with the ram-horn manifolds. |

Very nice. I can't wait to see more of this. I just saw this movie for the first time during the 24 hour build and fell in love with this car.
